Interesting suggestion, and it did seem to have some success! The 60 FPS lock was indeed lifted, and the input lag was no longer at 17ms.KrisyYy wrote:
I also have this problem (GTX 1050, i5-7300HQ laptop)
I've been playing with integrated graphics until i can find a solution, but the lag spikes are really annoying
With the NVIDIA GPU, if i restart my laptop, the issue gets removed strangely, but i have to do that every time i plan to play the game
Disabling fullscreen optimizations on the osu.exe properties + Compability mode in osu settings removed the cap but increased the input lag a bit, having average 2.0ms (but no lag spikes) vs 1.3ms on integrated
idk what's limiting exactly the fps, happens only when I'm with NVIDIA GPU + fullscreen
Using "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and running the game with osu!'s "Compatibility Mode," I achieve my maximum FPS (set to 240) and around 3.0ms of input lag (which I am currently used to, I do not believe I have ever played with anything lower XD is that a bad thing).
These results are similar to operating osu! on fullscreen windowed (borderless) at my maximum resolution of 1366x768, which I have been doing since the beginning of this post.
I'll see if there's an actual difference, playing between the two options:
(NVIDIA + fullscreen + "Disable fullscreen optimizations" + osu!'s Compatibility Mode) vs (NVIDIA + fullscreen windowed borderless)
Again, both result in a constant 240 FPS and approximately 3.0ms of input lag when playing a beatmap.
Thanks for your contribution! Anything else (from anyone!) would be appreciated
